The DOJ should be looking into prosecuting executives and board members for these kinds of hacks. The lack of controls over these kinds of training runs is completely unacceptable and negligent.
Yeah, they shouldn't be given free rein over the open internet without having to be held responsible for what the agents are doing on the open internet.
I think we need laws that hold individuals to account for the actions of their AI systems.
They also shouldn't be allowed to openly stir fear in the public by saying there is a 70% chance we're going to be extinct in two years without STRONG substantiation. Baseless clout-chasing social media posts like this are doing unheard of amounts of damage right now.

Yeah, man, we should just make it illegal to express our opinions in public. Also we should apply social pressure to prevent employees from saying things that would be inconvenient for their employer, that's highly pro-social.
No, we should make it illegal to say unsubstantiated things that are highly extremist and cause mass societal panic that further ensures we really do end up in a situation that screws everybody over because power becomes centralized into the hands of those who are funding these fear campaigns, like, "there's a 70% chance my machine is going to kill you, your children and your whole family in the next 2 years" without having a single shred of evidence or rational argument as to why.
Furthermore, this sort of rhetoric is not only extremist and will result in terrible regulatory outcomes, but it results in real physical harm, because plenty of psychopaths hear this stuff and go and murder people as a result. Sam Altman's house getting firebombed multiple times is an example.
It's fine to speak your mind if you can present a fruitful evidenced argument, but not if you're just throwing out chaos to incite the public into a flurry.
I'd eat a shoe if that ever happened, at least under the Trump DOJ.
Two big reasons.
OpenAI has more data, and more ability to tease secrets of politicians out of that data than nearly anyone on earth.
OpenAI has an automated hacking genie that governments want to use against their enemies.
Sam to Trump: "You know, some people have been saying they want to bring charges against me, but you know, I've got the best digital weapons and I'll give you access to them if those lawsuits go away".
Presuming these are true, I fail to see how any future politician and/or their administration would be any less susceptible to these issues. Is there some paradigm of virtue out there that I'm not aware of yet who is immune (or at least claims to be)?
They should. And there is something you can do to make it happen. Write your district attorney and encourage others to do that as well. That is how they pick what to work on.
No, that's not how the DOJ picks what to work on. They did not work on indictments of James Comey and Letitia James because someone wrote district attorneys.
Well yes, except the current admin will never prod DOJ on this issue. If people write them letters, there is nonzero chance something will start happening.
